The Sidekick was always a competent little SUV, the Swift was always a better deal than other cars its price (Festiva, Excel), and the Aerio is pretty nice, for being a rolling brick, especially with optional AWD and 160 hp for $17k before rebates. ---

> [@97GrandAMLD9](#): > > yea ive seen sidekicks with V8 swaps in them for offroading. but that tracker engine was a dog. yeah… it’s about as powerful as my swift engine, but with a lot more torque. it’s not bad for commuting and light offroading, but i’d be afraid merging onto a busy highway or trying to tow anything. it’s possible to put that block under my swift’s head… i’m thinking about pissing around with it with the spare engine in the parts car i’m picking up.
